NEW: Democrats cut the water off to California ranchers with no warning “We just found out we're not going to be able to get any irrigation water, which shuts us down as ranchers” “We're just kind of looking at just having to go out of business, you know, because that's what we do here is raise cattle. And if we don't have any water, that's going to be taken away from us. We’ll go dry.” “What do you do with dry land that you can't grow anything on? We're all going to have to go out of business” “Save the Potter Valley Project, sava Lake Pillsbury . Save our water, our homes, our farms.” Democrat officials like Governor Gavin Newsom and Congressman Jared Huffman, who represents the region. Huffman, a former attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, has supported environmental restoration efforts, including fish-friendly diversions, which align with dam removal advocacy Local advocates argue that Democratic leadership prioritizes environmental goals over rural communities’ water needs, with some pointing to PG&E’s political donations to Newsom and Huffman as evidence of influence
